He isn't getting special privileges. As for feeling sorry for him... As a human being, we have compassion for him. As a game player, love him or hate him... Your choice. I just have never liked anyone being bashed on a personal level. I don't like people getting bashed for their looks, their weight, their religion, their sexual orientation, etc. Totally cool with game play being bashed, but never the person. And absolutely never the families of the game player. JMNSHO
